Adams, Wisconsin has about 2,050 people. That count is a 2020–2024 Census average, not a headcount from one day.
A typical home is worth about $102,500.

Wisconsin's prices sit at 94.1 when the U.S. average is 100. This place is not in a metro area with its own index, so this is the state number from BEA for 2024.
